Marian Grout

Marian is an outstanding real estate agent. She was recommended by another client. She sold our house after a prior agent failed. She was there to demonstrate the features of our house at every showing and also help negotiate the sale. Marian also helped us find our new home and successfully negotiated our purchase. She is very personable, responsive, and follows up on all the details. She understood our needs and was very knowledgeable regarding all the closing details. Not your typical agent! I highly recommend her.

My business partner and I selected Marian to list our investment property, a condo in Birmingham. We originally selected Marian as a semi-finalist and decided to meet and interview those agents who made the final cut. After meeting Marian and hearing her take on our property, we had heard all we needed to hear. She was knowledgeable, experienced, made a confident and professional appearance, knew the market well and recommended exactly where to price the unit for a quick sale. We did not need to hear another pitch and hired her on the spot. Within a day or two we had an offer, which she actually suggested we NOT accept. Within three days, we had a f...

Marian is a seasoned professional in the real estate market. We have used Marian to buy and sell homes and everything has exceeded our expectations (pictures, awareness, attention to detail, etc). We had to purchase a home in a very short timeframe in the hottest housing market in history and she was able to not only get us in the running every time with offers, but also able to help us close on the perfect home within our tight timeline. While she is aggressive, she never loses focus of what is best for her clients and will not push clients to make poor offers. She has many connections that she can reach out to in order to answer questions regardin...

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Marian and her son Nolan, and I can confidently say they are an outstanding real estate team. From start to finish, they made the entire process feel seamless, professional, and even enjoyable. Marian brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a calm, reassuring presence. She truly listens and makes you feel supported every step of the way. Nolan complements her perfectly with his energy and attention to detail. Their communication was always prompt, clear, and helpful, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Together, Marian and Nolan made me feel like more than just a client; they treated me like ...

Outstanding support from start to finish! Marian from DOBI was absolutely incredible throughout our entire home-buying journey. Always available, she respected every one of our criteria with great attention and care. Her valuable advice and expertise allowed us to find and purchase the perfect home we were looking for. She handled everything, from organizing all the inspection appointments to brilliantly negotiating with the sellers, with professionalism and remarkable efficiency. The cherry on top: Marian is not only highly competent but also extremely kind and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We will trust her with our fu...

We looked for a home for ten months. Marian was patient and always available whenever we wanted to see a house. This usually happened on the day it was listed, given the competitive market. When we found the perfect home for our family, she wrote the offer and worked all weekend to make sure we got the house. She was with us every step of the way. Marian is a strong advocate for her clients and keeps your best interests at the forefront of the search. As soon as we bought a house, she began marketing our current house and once listed, had it sold in one day with multiple offers. Our experience with Marian was outstanding!

Marian was recommended by a friend who has worked with her on several home sales and purchases. She is a very kind and professional person, and very focused on you, so it feels like you're her "only client" (when, of course, she has many). Not only is Marian easy to work with, but she has excellent people on her team who handle the more routine/paperwork matters (so the saying is true: good people attract good people). At the very least, put her on your list of recommended realtors and have a chat with her. She doesn't sugarcoat things, which means you get to a sale faster with less fuss. Specifically, we worked with Marian to sell my mother's house...

Marian was extremely helpful, thoughtful, and well prepared to assist with all my home searching needs, and thereafter. As a first-time buyer, the process of buying is very difficult and leaves lots of room for learning and understanding, in which Marian proved knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate in my home-buying journey. She provided a variety of showings on a timely schedule that made the home-buying process much easier, even in the recent market. Marian is a fantastic realtor that I will surely contact should I ever look to purchase another home. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a home that fits their needs.

My Husband and I reached out to Marian to help find a home to raise our future family. Of course, we decided to look for a home during the craziest time, but Marian was the person to have by your side. You could quickly tell she has been in the industry for a long time based on her knowledge and experience. She was so easy to communicate with, always quick to respond with a detailed answer, very patient and had our best interests. Marian provided us with excellent guidance when putting in an offer to ensure we got what we wanted and was with us throughout the entire buying process, from walking through all the houses to closing. We are excited to no...
